Grandparents Get Involved with Fundraising
Some concerned grandparents recently made a decision to step up to the plate and raise money for research to help their grandchildren with Friedreich's ataxia. Leonard and Gail Miller of Jamestown, PA began a very successful letter writing campaign that to date has brought in nearly $4200 to help find a cure for their granddaughter, Kasey of Norwood, MA. Mrs. Peggy Jones of Lometa, Texas held a Walk-A-Thon in her community and raised over $3500. Her grandson, Tye, suffers from FA. Mrs. Jones says, "My prayers are with you in your research." Thank you, grandparents, from all of us that deal with Friedreich's on a daily basis. You are very special people!
